Explore La Tegolaia’s rich history

Our villa’s historic charm is complemented by modern renovations, including green energy solutions like solar panels. The transformation respects its historic roots while offering 21st-century comfort.

Originally, La Tegolaia was a "Casa Colonica" belonging to the Benedictine monks of Vallombrosa Abbey, with a rich history that dates to 1100. The oldest part of the villa was constructed around a central tower. Over the centuries, the villa has expanded to include additional floors and wings, along with a traditional Fienile — a small building once used for storing grain and other agricultural products. Today, this Fienile has also been transformed into a cozy and fully equipped apartment for two.

Amazing. So much charm and character. A beautiful rambling villa with amazing views and a magical atmosphere. The house is packed with quirky antiques and oil paintings adding to its unique character. It's beautifully kept gardens and swimming pool made it a perfect retreat for families and friends. Our children had a wonderful time playing in the gardens, swimming and bouncing on the trampoline amongst the olive trees. We also enjoyed using the pizza oven and barbecue!

Fabulous setting of a HUGE house, amidst the vines and olive groves with abundant wildlife and superb birds! I never did count how many bathrooms there were, but the oversupply of fridges/cutlery/crocks next to each (four) of the dining areas makes for a relaxed time. The vast kitchen stocked with every single item you may ever need was a luxury (even if the countless knives were all blunt-a common problem) Layout lovely to always have a cool place to eat, but the square table in the garden under the trees make for a magical spot for our big party. The space, level of equipment and cool indoors makes this a perfect villa. One expects a great pool and it was-but wow what a view. So special that nobody left the villa for the entire week except replenishing the food

Thank you so much - we've had a great time. The house is splendid and the pool is excellent. -- I have so much fun here and I loved playing ball with the dog in the garden. It has been one of my favourite holidays ever! -- Thank you to the lovely people who have been around to help us during our holiday.
